INDIAN RIVER COUNTY SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS | SEP. 26, 2024 PRESS RELEASE

General Election Ballots Are On Their Way
 
Indian River County, FL – Supervisor of Elections Leslie Rossway Swan wants Indian River County mail ballot voters to know that their ballots are on their way.  The Elections Office delivered 27,371 ballots to the post office on September 26 for the 2024 General Election.  This is in addition to the 543 ballots sent on September 20 for military and overseas voters.
 
“Voters who would like to vote by mail should request their ballot as soon as possible,” said Supervisor of Elections Leslie Rossway Swan.  “The deadline to request a ballot to be mailed is October 24 at 5 p.m.  Don’t wait until the last minute to request your ballot because you need to allow sufficient time to return your voted ballot in the mail.”
 
To request a mail ballot, voters can call 772-226-4700 or visit VoteIndianRiver.gov.  A Florida driver license, Florida ID or the last four digits of a voter’s social security number are required when requesting a mail ballot.  Per Florida law, mail ballots must be received by the Supervisor of Elections office no later than 7:00 p.m. on November 5 in order to be counted.
 
“Something not all voters may know is they are able to track the status of their mail ballot through our website at VoteIndianRiver.gov or by calling 772-226-4700,” shared Supervisor of Elections Leslie Rossway Swan. 
 
Reminders for mail ballot voters:
 

• Don’t forget to sign the certificate envelope before returning the ballot
• Including your phone number and/or email address on the certificate envelope is helpful in case you forget to sign the envelope or if your signature does not match your signature on your voter registration record
• If returning your ballot by U.S. mail, allow one week for delivery
• Secure Ballot Intake Stations (formerly known as drop boxes) are available at all early voting sites during voting hours to drop off your ballot in person
• Ballots may be hand delivered to the Supervisor of Elections office during business hours
• Track your ballot at VoteIndianRiver.gov to confirm when your voted ballot is received at the Elections Office
